Venture mixes art, commerce to revive a sleepy downtown corner

yolo archiveThe second floor of Court ’N Cedar on G Street near Third has been one of downtown's neglected corners, but that’s changing. On Davisville this week, Michael Bisch, co-president of the Davis Downtown Business Association, and artist Marieke de Waard discuss the Open Door Art Studios now taking shape at that location. Based on the Torpedo Factory near Washington, D.C., Open Door seeks to turn a sleepy downtown upstairs into an artists’ hangout, where artists can rent space (this photo shows one of the studios) and work among their peers, and the public can observe and engage the artists. With some work, the downstairs courtyard could become a performance venue. The venture is part art, part economics, and part public attraction—and the latest example of how commerce and art can interact to support downtown Davis.

Long live the lizards!

The time has come, dear listeners, for us to share in the epic tale of Colonel Forbin and the sacred lost land of Gamehendge. For those who have not yet heard of of the lizards...and those who crave the sweet melodies of Tela and long for just one more narration of The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday, tonight's show is just for you. Broadcast live from our own Crest Theater in nearby Sacramento, the date is March 22, 1993. TaleTeller Trey, our favorite sexy redheaded guitarist, wrote the song-filled story as his senior thesis at Goddard College in Vermont, way back in the late 1980s. Seriously, the songs are some of the band's best, and the tale is especially poignant in today's stormy and volatile world. Enjoy!
